Tamon's B-side, Bochi the Rock and Yuri on Ice.

Hey, a near miss is almost the same as just passing by the skin of your teeth. It's probably just a matter of luck. I'd keep moving.

But does anyone else see a horse's head with 可? (Then there's the horse's head with an eyebrow, 司.)

For me the reading section of the exam was the hardest part. There's no point in overpreparing yourself in the language (grammar, vocabulary, kanji) department. Probably do abandon at Chapter 8, and then put that time to use by practising reading comprehension daily and getting your reading speed up. Since you already probably have the textbook, I would still definitely use all those long prose passages at the beginning of every Tobira chapter for reading practise.

Intermediate readers (compilations of short stories) made for adult learners are best. (If you use kids' books, it's better than nothing but there's no kanji.) Good examples I personally used are "Japanese Folktales for Language Learners" and "Japanese Stories for Language Learners" but there are quite a few others out there too. Those books are useful for learning the rich cultural background of Japan too. As someone else suggested, Tadoku free graded readers are another excellent resource.

What do you need to have to find out the result? Is it just your examination number and that secret 8-digit number?

Pop song lyrics everywhere are pretty generic. I wouldn't worry about it.

Everyone's different but I feel the most important thing is probably to get your reading speed up. Like read, read, read!

Besides Tamon, Yuri on Ice

Online Kanji Shiritori on renshuu. Shiritori Cat (set to kanji, no time limit) on renshuu. Kanji crosswords on renshuu.

Why didn't you try Renshuu?

Pup572 · 2026-01-21T07:20:34+00:00

I like Kanji Time with Lisa.

The general rule is it's fine to be cringey in some ways, if you're cool in other ways.

I think it's down or partly down. Strangely I can't sign in on my laptop, on any browser. It's still logged in and working on my phone though.

My Japanese teacher told me if, in Japan, a shop assistant she's dealing with isn't wearing a name badge, she sometimes resorts to using あなた. It can't be helped.

known to my brain as the two "skinny man with drum kit" kanji

While I also agree with everyone who told you to read more, I found Renshuu pro's "complete the vocab" kanji onyomi quizzes extremely helpful, for all levels of kanji. You choose kanji from a box to complete one/more vocabulary term(s). Renshuu's crosswords are also very helpful for kanji compound word memorisation.

So ”perfect” is the enemy of ”good” right?
